All posts for the month December, 2011

Well christmas is over for another year, now is the time to take a long hard look at your business plans for the new year, unless you are 100% happy with your advertising. online profile or amount of business you had last year (and how many of us are 🙂 ) now is the time to get someone to look at your online profile.

At Activ we not only build fixed price web sites, but we also look at the bigger picture, sure for £499 your not going to get all the bells and whistles but you will get enough of them to make sure your site works for your business rather than just sit there looking pretty. Companies can spend a fortune on a web presence which their web designer tells them they need, it will probably look fantastic with images gliding gracefully across the screen whilst christmas video’s play in the corner and snow gently slides down the screen but chances are, after 6 months the site will still be looking just as pretty and still not generating business for you. just look at some of the highest grossing sites, amazon.co.uk, is it the best looking site you ever saw?, how about PC World, Argos to name but a few, the difference between these companies is that their site are built to a) work for the business and b) be easy to use by the customer, do you visit these sites to sit and look at the graphics or sit and watch a 5 minute video of their products whizzing around the screen.. No and they know that.

The point I am trying to make is if you want a site that works hard for your business then come and talk to us (Activ) , if you want the site to just look pretty we probably can’t help you.

We offer a full range of help and advice to make your online presence the best we can from fixed price wesites £499, to full e-Commerce sites at £999 as well consultancy, photography in fact everything you need online.

Happy New Year!

For all you online profile advice and web sites in Hull and Bridlington Codespinner Ltd

Welcome to the CodeSpinner blog. The intention is to blog about all things software and web design…..

I fully intend to work for myself, I have built the site (Here) so they will come! also have an Activ web design franchise, have a time limited job so hopefully things will fall into place.

The reason for the web design franchise is two fold, I started Codespinner with the intention of supplying bespoke software to small to medium sized businesses, the decision to go with Activ as well is more of a safety net it allows me to supply fixed price websites, standard or e-commerce with little or no debugging. The Activ web design software allows me to virtually drag and drop websites to the customer’s specification with virtually no coding.

The advantage to me is hopefully a quick turnaround of a boilerplate affordable site, with what should become the “bread & butter” of the Codespinner business, the advantage to the customer is that they know exactly how much the site will cost.
